This little glade of mopane trees next to the road shows how much rain we have had. Even after a few days of dry hot weather, this section of water 6 or more inches deep remains. Getting stuck in the mud is still a worry, the watercourses are still muddy. It bodes well for the year ahead.
The damp earth is prime real estate for fungi and mushroom are all around. I saw these on Banyini under the Chinese lantern trees.
This Three Banded Courser is primarily a nocturnal bird but I have seen them often during the day on Banyini. They feed on insects, especially crickets and beetles, walking slowly and then stabbing at their prey.
